How Much Should A Gaming Software Consultant Get Paid Per Hour? Is It Better To Be Paid Per Hr Or Per Project?

I’m trying to help a friend out by having his contracts read by a lawyer. A large well known gaming establishment wants to hire him as a consultant and he was asking for too little I thought. Is there anyone that can help in this category?
He’s a genius but underbids himself…and he works really hard. I just don’t want him to get taken advantage of. Thanks.

How Should I Ask To Get A Better Increase And More Money?

I currently work as a HR Assistant in a clinical research organization and I recently received an increase of about 4% for my last year performance which overall was good! A receptionist who has about the same amount of experience as I do with no degree not only received a 4% increase but was also promoted to an HR Assistant role with an additional 4% increase, now making almost $3000 more then me. This has made me furious!! How can I approach my Director for a fair evaluation?? Or help her see my side without any threats. I currently need my job as I am planning on making some life changes.

Held accountable for all entrusted responsibilites and authorities, reporting to the team leader or his second-in-command and the professional competence office, Boards of Directors about all issues within the entire shifts.

In Trouble At Work…what Can I Do To Make This Better?

I’m a manager, and an employee (who does not work for me or in the same department) has filed a complaint against me for a personal conflict between myself & his wife. He is bringing emails that I have sent her from home, which say some awful things- but no worse than what she has said, to show our HR Rep and I’m afraid that I may be demoted or worse, fired. My boss let me know what was going on (she is on my side, but since HR is now involved, does not have any authority in this situation). She thinks they may cite “conduct unbecoming of a manager”. My first question is: can this even go any further since this was a personal issue w/the spouse of an employee, and none of this took place at work? And if so, how can I save my job and my title as a manager? I’d be willing to publicly apologize if I had to, but I don’t know if the VP of HR will sympathize. Any advice is appreciated!

Between A Lawyer (or A Law Graduate) And A Psychologist, Who Would Be The Better Human Resources Manager?

Both professions deal with people and have their own advantages.
